I know there are many customers who do not read this diary so We will contact them in a different way..........
Like I have said, I am going to make a Super Tuscan and it will be called The Ultimate Cuvee. We will be making the upload to offer our Pre-Harvest Futures. When you see you will be able to buy my Super Tuscan. So I am interested what you think about my options.....
Oh new news.......we may do a new website and a new POS so Pre-Harvest Futures may be delayed. I still want your input since I may drop the Petit Verdot and blend it into the Ultimate Cuvee, Super Tuscan blend.....

Nothing is happening these days except, Insurance rates are sky high.......
As you know I do not like anything heavy on me, but I have to wear something when it is cold, I do not like to be under 65 degrees.....
So tonight I had to go out in the vineyard, after days, wishing it to be warm in the evening, but it has not happened so .........
I had to go out tonight with a heavy coat, maybe light for you.........and I did get out away before it was too cold again and I saw grape clusters that were forming little berries so it is a fun time!!

We are back but it was the vacation from hell!! It was cold and windy and I could not go out on the large outside lounge we had so I stayed in ALL 11 days!! I also had no desire to eat. I did have some alcohol, a lot but evidently not enough water so, maybe I got dehydrated??
I lost 12 pounds on the trip so in 11 days. I weigh 211. I usually fluctuate between 221 and 230 since year 2000 when I went on the Atkins diet at 271 pounds and lost 50 pounds in 6 months. I know on the cruise there were days I did not eat much if any but to lose 12 pounds I would have had to consume 3500 calories times 11, so 38,500 less than usual. My maintenance calorie total is 2500 per day. I know I did consume a lot of alcohol an amount I think would be 500 calories a day, so I assume I am dehydrated also. So unless I have a big medical problem, I assume I will gain back a lot in the next few days, BUT I am not hungry and I have an upset stomach so we will see.
To be clear the last time I was this low, 211, was July 7, 2004, 20 years ago. Make this clear, I was told by my Doc, I was down 2 inches in height so I need to lose some weight!!

Darn!! Rehydration is occurring, I am back up to 219. I have been drinking water but not as much as recommended on what I read on Google. I want to keep my weight down so I need to eat less?

We have everything ready for bottling our 2023 10 Month aged
wines and also my new Sauvignon Blanc 100% French oak wine
that was aged for 10 months also.........I am ready, oh I
have to wait another month!
Did I tell you I have not been able to go out in the
vineyard? Sure you know about my bad back and thus it is
almost impossible to walk out in the uneven vineyard.
Now you also know I use a scooter to travel up and down the
vineyard rows, it is my second one from this local company.
OH, but now the battery is dead on the the second upgrade
scooter from this company, in less than 2 years. I have been
on the phone and emails and I have a problem with this
company........to be continued!!
